If you're married, you may be entitled to a £1,260 tax break called the marriage tax allowance – something around 2.1 million qualifying couples miss out on.
You can benefit from Marriage Allowance if all the following apply:
- You’re married or in a civil partnership
- You do not pay Income Tax or your income is below your Personal Allowance (usually £12,570)
- Your partner pays Income Tax at the basic rate, which usually means their income is between £12,571 and £50,270 before they receive Marriage Allowance
You cannot claim Marriage Allowance if you’re living together but you’re not married or in a civil partnership.
